VeganBrian Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Just thought i'd share my tank with the macro algae people. Here's a link to my full tank build: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...311166&st=0 This topic will be only about my macro algaes though. List of what i have so far: -Chaeto (Chaetomorpha Spiralis) -Red gracillaria (Gracilaria tikvahiae) -Spiky ball seaweed (Hypnea pannosa) -Red Grape (Botryocladia uvaria) -Halimeda (Halimeda incrassata) -Mermaid's Fan (Udotea petiolata) -Red Palm -Violet Flames -Rose Petal (Porphyra leucosticta) -Red Dragon -Flamed Tip Dragons Breath (Halymenia) -Neomeris -Martians Rose (Peyssonneliacapensis) -Volcano Sunburst (eucheuma) -Maidens hair (Cymopolia Barbata) -fern caulerpa (Caulerpa sertularioides) -red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle) - Ulva Most of which i purchased from LA reefs besides Chaeto, Red gracillaria, Hypnea pannosa. I just got them in today, so we will see how they do. FTS Link to comment

VeganBrian Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm on the lookout for Pink galaxy, blue ochtodes, Lucky color shifting macro, Condium, and looking for some yellow macros. Anyone know some other cool macros i should be looking into? Link to comment
VeganBrian Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Only 10 days and theres so much growth its crazy! Re arranged some stuff, pencil cap died. FRS: Red palm: Mermaid fan and halimeda: Red dragon: Red grape: Hypnea pannosa (spiky ball seaweed): Red rose and Dragons Breath: Violet Flames: Theres pods all over the place and you can actually pick them out of photos on the macros. Hope you all enjoy! 1 Link to comment
VeganBrian Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Bought some LR today only cause it had macro on it hahaa. Well I need a ID but i think its called a sear fern? Anyone have a positive ID? Link to comment
NowSnow Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Neomeris annulata or one of the other species. Sometimes it goes crazy and spreads like a weed others it will just die. Link to comment

VeganBrian Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 No more LA reefs for me. Horrible business. Very expensive macro came today in 41 degree water. IDK if it will make it. Its one of the smallest clippings ive ever seen... The only way i could say something nice about the company is if they give me my money back... I guess we will see if they ever e-mail me back..
